Chris and I just came back from a road trip to southern N.M.  Among the places we visited were the lovely Mountains of Ruidoso (where we window shopped, took pics, and gambled just a teeny tiny bit) and the stunning White Sands near Alamogordo, NM (where we had fun in the sand and sun).   It was a lovely trip...and such a cool way to spend some of my Spring Break.  Also, we couldn't have asked for better weather . These are some pics We took. Here is on...

I probably only live 5 or 6 hours away from the Grand Canyon, but surprisingly, I've never been to it. Now that this new Grand Canyon Skywalk has opened up, it motivates me more to want to visit this place. I am such a yellow belly when it comes to heights and such, but this seems like too much of a cool thing to pass up. A bit scary, but stunning all the same. Maybe I can convince Chris to go sometime. I just hope I won't wuss out if I have the opportunity to walk this....
